Personally I’m not a big fan of the ghost runner at second in extra innings in Major League Baseball. I think it was added with the intention to end games faster. Honestly instead it just feels like you get a lot of teams seesawing back and forth with runs because of it. If they must keep it I rather just see them hold off and not use it until a potential 14th or 15th inning. It might make a difference and be worth it at that point.

I don't know what the numbers say about the effectiveness of the automatic runner, but on principle I think it's ridiculous nonsense and needs to be eliminated. You could pitch a perfect game and lose on a sac fly. That shouldn't be possible. |

As great as the implementation of the pitch clock is, this rule change has been the exact opposite. It's the kind of shit those weird, independent leagues do, like the Savannah Bananas.

Not a fan of it either. Some of the best MLB games are the marathon games. I am okay if the rule is implemented deep into the extra inning, but prefer to do away with it.

Something I would do actually is drop the ghost runner but add in the ability to steal first. Like if there is a dropped or passed ball the hitter has the option to try and steal 1B.
